Still undecided about fall activities for your child? Here is how Leigh’s School of Dance plans to keep our studios a safe space for our dance families:

– Small class sizes in our big studios!

– Spaced out markers or taped boxes on the dance floor to keep space between everyone, limited mixing and mingling, and more to provide a since of normalcy for your child and a happy dance experience.

– Hand sanitizer is outside the door of every studio. Dancers will put it on before entering every class and as the dancers leave.

– The studios are cleaned before, in between, and after all classes are done for the evening.

– UV air purifiers in all air units in order to provide fresher, more filtered air and to help disinfect and stop the spread of germs.
